    If you're going to start a topic, don't just copy paste the title, give a better read.
    Also, I don't know what a Tava build is and I'm sure there are others too, could you explain what these builds are, so we can understand why this is a big deal?

    One of them is a 5 Tavas, 5 Ebon or Dragon and 2 Blood Spawn Tank build. If you keep shuffle active you gain your ultimate real quick. Works well with Aggressive Warhorn.

    Tava Builds use the Tava's Favor crafted set. The 5 pc on them generates ultimate over 3 seconds after dodging an attack. Major Evasion would more often than not give a higher chance of dodging than it was intended to so people worked it into a build with Bloodspawn where if you dodge an attack, you get ultimate, if you get hit, you get ultimate.

    It's a small nerf, but really not game-breaking for Tava's tanks. We're losing 5% or so mitigation and ulti-gen max.

    Slightly slower warhorns (Tava's will still probably proc on cooldown, so this only impacts bosses) and slightly more damage taken (If your tank is getting low enough to be in danger, either he or your healer is doing something wrong.)

    Tava's+Bloodspawn tanks will be even less affected, as getting hit still generates ultimate from Bloodspawn.

    Since you put 0 effort with this thread and the one where you replied before, i will just copy paste my comment from a different thread

    Nope, dodging is still extremly powerful because zos nerfed it in the wrong way.
    It's not a 15% to dodge every single hit.
    It's a 15% chance to make you invicible for 0.3 seconds taking 0 damage from all attacks during that period. Only pve tanks where adds are missing during a boss fight will notice it and the whole ulti tank meta outshining other tanks that hard isn't that healthy excalty.

    I suppose this affects Histbark too? If so, it's time to find a different set for tanking. Yes, it is only 5%, but it makes a big difference I think.

    Can this period be extended to 0.6 seconds with the Crusader set? Sounds quite powerful.

    For me it feels too lackluster now. Against multiple opponents it saved you a lot of stamina. Even this 5% difference will be noticable. But I'm not too disappointed by it though. There's plenty other good sets.

    Because there was no need to put "effort" into anything. Title is self explanatory and concerns the players who knows what it does and nobody else. This affects both PvE and PvP. However i pointed out the pve effect of this change.

    Lol, for a starting tank that hasn't had a ton of time to farm any of the top end sets, Hist Bark is a pretty good set to start with. It helps a lot with sustain, especially on a templar.

    Yeah , I know it is a beginner set . That is why I get sad when I see experienced tanks running it ^^

    You guys do realize that Tava's Favor builds are not the current Meta of tanks and is highly overrated right? Tanks needs to use their ultimate in a rotation and for those rotations to stay solids its the healers not the tanks that needs to figure out how to get ultimate fast. Plus Tava's plus Bloodspawn is a terrible combo. Bloodspawn doesn't proc often at all and using Evasion limits it even more. Less so now I guess but still not often enough. Buff/Debuff Tanks are the Meta if anything. So making people switch from Tava's is a good thing in my eyes, cause it makes people switch from something that is sub par. And yes yes we all want to play how ever we want but that just isn't how a game system like this works no matter how much the devs say play like you want. And tanks will without a doubt still be using Major Evasion in one form or another, just not with Tava's I hope.

    I highly disagree. Game is not only about trials. Other builds provide stats to the group via armor passives/skills, ult builds provide them via warhorn, its that simple.
